This has been one busy week and I am so ready for the weekend! I stared my Icelandic classes on Monday and am now on level two woo hoo. You can now find me every morning scrunching my face in concentration trying to follow along with what the teacher is saying, which is of course all in Icelandic. It is such a challenging class but I know I am going to learn so much from it, I may even be able to carry on a conversation with a 4 year old by the time my class is done.
On top of trying to comprehend all the Icelandic I am learning I have been spending my days writing the always fun cover letters and preparing contact lists of places I want to send my resumes to. My brain feels ready to explode with all the information it is trying to process so what better way to get rid of some of my thoughts than share them here with you all.
Enjoy the random cluster of my thoughts and happenings from this week, you know all stuff that has occurred when I should’ve been focusing on my Icelandic studies or job search, oh well there is always next week right :)
*When the sun finally does shine it reminds me just how beautiful Iceland really is. This picture was from my run yesterday, I was so glad to get out and run by the sea instead of the treadmill.
*My skin has officially reached glow in the dark status, like I need to start using self-tanning lotion asap or I may start scaring people when I wear shorts to the gym.
*The hot pools in Iceland are the best place to go to solve your life problems. Something in the water just clears things up for you and brings you the solutions, at least thats what Icelanders think.
*Mass postcard mailing occurred this week, only took me a month to send them.
*To the guy in spinning class this week, spinning so fast you make the bike jump around everywhere does not attract us females, nor do we appreciate the constant gawking during class, were trying to get our sweat on dude!
*I have decided there are absolutely no rules when parking on the streets in Reykjavik. Up on the sidewalk, sticking out into the street or cars parked in either direction, it is all fair game.
*After three months I finally opened up a bank account here in Iceland. Such a simple task but I felt like a badass accomplishing the quest without H. Its the little things in life.
*A sign often outside a very popular cafe downtown, Iceland is pretty awesome…
*I have discovered my best ideas come to me when I am half asleep and to tired to get out of bed to write them down. Note to self, I really must keep a notebook near my bed.
*Icelanders bring Florida to them with a DIY orange tree, totally normal 
*Learning a new language makes me incredibly hungry. I like to think all that extra work my brain is doing is burning calories so its totally okay to have two lunches.
*I want to meet the person that rides this bike around during the Icelandic winter. You are one brave person to face the winds and cold on this thing!
*I am going to my first expat pub quiz tonight, am I suppose to study for this thing??
*The always cute Azora was sure to send me some encouraging snaps this week
She is just so cute I can’t get enough of her :) Thats all for my ramblings today, I am off to translate my homework so I can figure out what I am suppose to be doing! See you all tomorrow with my recap on my third month in Iceland!
